As I said in the now playing thread, I think there are a lot of good ideas here, that point to a great sophomore album…. if there is one. I can’t stand the constantly repeated lyrics on a lot of these songs, see “solid gold telephone’ for an example.
I wanted to love this, but the only song I reach for is the title track, which is near perfect to these ears and gives me those great chills during the chorus.

It doesn’t blow my mind quite like I thought it would but I must say for some simple mans music it’s damn good. When the mood strikes there isn’t much better. Hopefully they can give a sophomore next year. Good review J.
